Harbor
refuge
from torrent...
few have
rested here.

Voyagers
wading in
blue waters, yellow
dunes,
come to
former voyagers
who waded ashore wet
with
waters of their
journey.

Oceans separated our lives
when rafts, dugouts, schooners,
clippers, steamers, tankers,
liners had not yet parted the waters
for human passage to harbor.

Out there
sanctuary
seemed
to exist
only in
our mind;
the reality
was sea,
only sea.

Water pulls
at life below;
all
who journey
the sea
await departure
(harbor
the ruins
of another time).
